"Sun, that's interesting!" Li Xiang casually discarded the information in his hand and muttered to himself.
Now Li Xiang has just passed Tongguan and officially entered the land of Guanzhong. Previously, in order to give some people more time to prepare, Li Xiang deliberately stayed in Sizhou for more than half a month, and then looked for excuses
After staying at Hangu Pass and Tongguan for a few days respectively, we officially entered Guanzhong.
Speaking of Tongguan and Hangu Pass, the two most powerful passes in the world, since the Yongliang Prefecture was captured, the importance of these two passes has been greatly reduced, mainly because Li Xiang no longer has the need to use these two passes to defend against foreign enemies.
Now, these two levels are within its sphere of influence, and the enemies are basically out of reach.
During this period of time, among the important news coming from Floating Water House, the most talked about ones were the three battlefields of Qingzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou.
In the whole world, these three places are the only ones where the fighting is going on vigorously, one wave after another.
Qingzhou, there is nothing too exciting here, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande just defend. Of course, they are not qualified to take the initiative at this time.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande were originally incompatible and attacked each other. However, in recent times, these two former enemies have been forced to cooperate again and again.
The two sides first worked together to kill Guo Wei, the most powerful of the three parties in Qingzhou. After that, if the situation develops normally, what will happen will be a drama of two tigers fighting each other as one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
However, these two tigers were actually two sick tigers, which aroused the covetousness of external forces. There was no way, with the presence of foreign enemies, these two enemies had to form Liu Dou's second cooperation.
Although Dou Jiande's territory is all in the northern part of Qingzhou, whether it is Yuan Shao or Chi You who are fighting for the time being, it is Liu Bei's territory. But it is absolutely impossible for Dou Jiande to turn a blind eye to this war. If Liu Bei is finished, then it will be his turn next.
Of course, although it is essentially for yourself, after all, it is superficially a favor, and you still have to ask for the conditions.
At the same time, talents emerged one after another among Dou Jiande's forces, and they took advantage of the east wind of the war to rise to power. Among Dou Jiande's elders, Yun Tianbiao, Shan Xiongxin, Liu Heitai, and Ling Jing still had some say, and the rest still had some say.
All of them are almost squeezed into marginal figures.
Moreover, Su Qin is still constantly planning to attack the remaining senior figures in Dou Jiande's force. However, all this is done quietly in secret, and even many people on Su Qin's side don't know about it.
One of the methods is to let a group of generals die gloriously on the battlefield, but this method cannot be used frequently, otherwise others will always notice some clues.
And recently, Su Qin is planning to get Di Qing and Shan Yingying into contact again. When she was a girl, she was the age when love first emerged. At this time, she admired heroes the most, and Di Qing could just meet this standard.
The pressure on Su Qin is considerable. His recent mission instructions have been issued. After fully grasping Dou Jiande's power, he will use Dou Jiande's power as the basis to intervene in the situation in the three states of Hebei, Yanxu and Xu and slow down the development of the princes in these three states as much as possible.
Of course, if one day it comes time for the princes to unite, especially if this alliance is to target Li Xiang, Su Qin will also ensure that Dou Jiande's forces have sufficient say in the alliance of princes.
To achieve this goal, Dou Jiande's current power is not enough.
Those who do not plan for the future are not good enough for a short time; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not good for a region. Although Li Xiang’s goal will not be Qingzhou for a long time, Li Xiang still continues to increase his chips in Qingzhou.
, increase their strength in Qingzhou.
Although Li Xiang's territory is to the west and east of Qingzhou, this does not mean that the business cannot vigorously operate Qingzhou.
Just imagine, if when Li Xiang attacks Hebei, Yuan Shao puts all his troops into attacking Li Xiang, and at this time Su Qin attacks Jizhou from behind, what effect will it have?
If as Li Xiang's power increases, the princes of the world unite to fight against Li Xiang, and Su Qin takes advantage of the situation and breaks into the alliance of princes, what effect will it have?
Perhaps Li Xiang’s batches of investment will be difficult to see results in the near future, but for the future, these batches of investment are necessary!
In Jingzhou, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu were still stationed in Nanyang as before, fighting against Yuan Shu's army, and the other was still stationed in the important town of Jiangxia to guard against the southern princes.
However, Pang Juan's attack on Nanyang has made no progress for a long time. If he continues to see no results in the long run, I am afraid that Yuan Shu himself will waver in his determination to attack Jingbei. In fact, after fighting for a long time, the army is exhausted. If there is no more results, the army will have to start again.
Rested.
Following this battle, the reputations of Wu Zhiqi, Deng Xia and Du Yan on Liu Xiu's side became more and more famous, and they have been in the limelight recently.
The reason why Liu Xiu made these three people so active was to flex their muscles. On the one hand, it let Yuan Shu know that Jingbei was not easy to mess with, forcing him to take the initiative to stop the army. After all, it would not be beneficial to both sides if they continued to consume each other like this.
.
The second is to show off their muscles to all the forces in northern Jing. Those aristocratic families that have not surrendered to Liu Xiu, and even neutral figures in the army such as Wen Zhong and Huang Zhong, when they saw Liu Xiu's power, some of them
It is inevitable that he will choose Liu Xiu.
After all, among the four forces in Jingbei, the one with the strongest strength has the best chance of winning and has the greatest chance of having the last laugh.
At this time, Liu Xiu didn't want Jingbei to engage in any more meaningless internal strife. He wanted to suppress it with overwhelming force. As long as he had overwhelming power, Liu Xiu believed that Liu Yu would definitely make the right choice. As for him
Liu Xiu still didn't take his two nephews seriously.
Moreover, the effect of Liu Xiu's move is indeed not small. Although Wen Zhong and Huang Zhong have not yet expressed their stance, Wei Yan, Huo Jun and others have already lined up with Liu Xiu. Among the aristocratic families, the attitudes of many people have already changed.
changed.
Even though the general direction of the Kuai family, which favors Liu Yu, and the Cai family, which supports Liu Cong, has not changed, some of the family members have also separated out to invest separately.
Anyway, for a family like theirs that is already the top power in a state, it is not difficult to find a few young talents in the family. For people like them, the continuation of the family is always the most important.
What's more, let alone young talents, even a few idiot Liu Xiu would accept it at this time. What this represents is not just a few talents, but also the release of these two top aristocratic families in Jingzhou on him
